2. For a practical and beautiful workspace using artificial turf, follow these simple guidelines. Frame Important Areas Every business that uses outdoor spaces will have a reason for doing so. A restaurant or cafe will need seating areas, an outdoor goods store will need places to display their stock, and a dog kennel will need separation between lodgings and play areas. Think about what’s most important for your business and use artificial grass to highlight these areas. The contrast in texture and color between the turf and any stone or wooden platforms will draw the eye, and customers will automatically sense where particular products are located. As there will be much footfall in these areas, you will want to have a surface that won’t need a lot of maintenance. Artificial grass is durable and won’t break apart under pressure. Plus, your staff will easily be able to clean it when needed. Leave Lawn for Children If you regularly host happy children on your business premises, you’ll need an area where they can play safely while their parents are busy purchasing your service or product. Laying down artificial turf will make it clear where children are allowed to play. You may even wish to leave toys or build a play area to keep them occupied. Your artificial turf will be installed with a layer of shock-absorbent material placed underneath it to provide a much greater cushion than natural grass. If an excitable child should slip and fall, they are better protected from injury with this spongy surface beneath them. Both you and your client parents can rest easy while you focus on making sales for your company. Page | 2

3. Incorporate Grass into Design Artificial grass doesn’t apply to only large expanses. Indeed, it can be cut to any shape or size to accommodate your landscaping needs. If you have rounded or geometric paving stones, you can have artificial grass installed in between them for a fresh and attractive look. Plus, any hilly or uneven areas can accommodate artificial grass. The installation company can either level out the area or place the artificial turf on hills, depending on your preferences. You shouldn’t feel restricted by length or color either. You can select artificial turf that conforms to any specification you may require, even distinctively different spaces in design. Longer grass lengths will provide a plush, soft surface, while shorter lengths will lend a neater and more modern appeal.
